This web tool allows for easy curating
and editing. All research can be easily
organized, edited, referred back to,
and shared. The internet, and this
curation tool, greatly improves the ease
of research. The ability to publish
webmixes and review others' work is easy
and convenient.

This tool allows students to create
multi-media presentations easily.
Images, videos, audio files, and more
can be embedded into the project.
You can't carry around a projector,
a record player, a tape recorder, and
a white board...but you can Prezi!
Purpose: Oral Presentation
Students will record a summary of their multi-media digital presentation. Focus will be linking what they learned, next steps to take, and why they think they are a good fit for the career.
WeVideo is an intermediate leveled video
editing tool that allows for audio recordings
to be added. Oral presentations have
always been possible, but this tool
allows for simple recording and editing,
integrates with Google Drive, and provides
a way for oral presentations to easily be
preserved and shared.
Purpose: Digital Portfolio
Student will document research process, information, and growth. Students will build a website to document and reflect throughout the unit/course.
Weebly is free and incredibly easy to use. The
platform allows students to collect artifacts,
write, and showcase digital projects. The
format is easy to share. A digital portfolio
replaces big folders and files of information
and projects. It's not a new idea, but a modern
and streamlined way to present information.
Purpose:Build a learning network.
Students will connect and communicate with people who are involved and interested in the same topics they are.
Gone are the days of the handwritten letter
and telegrams. Even smoke signals! Social
media, love it or hate it, provides a platform
for right-here right-now information. It
connects people around the globe. Using
it for professional or educational reasons
allows us to learn from our peers around the world!
Purpose: Generate a Timeline
Enter class information into a Google Sheet every week as a summative exercise. By the end of the semester or year, you have a timeline that shows your experiences.
This tool is so cool! It creates a timeline from
information entered into a spreadsheet!
It is not a new idea, but it reinvents
timelines in such a cool and modern way.
You can enter dates, text, videos and
images, and you get back a unique and
personalized timeline.
Purpose: Create avatar for website and social media
Avatars are just fun. This tool doesn't change
learning, but it does help to protect a
student's identity. It also helps to develop
an online identity. Bitmoji is by far
my all-time favorite emoji maker. It
allows for advanced customization, but you
can also use it with pre-made messages
via GMail or text. Fun!
Research IT topics or careers: Students
will research, identify, and describe
emerging careers in the technology field.
